D NUMERIC FORMATS
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin family processors support 8-, 16-, 32-, and
40-bit fixed-point data in hardware. Special features in the computation
units allow support of other formats in software. This appendix describes
various aspects of these data formats. It also describes how to implement a
block floating-point format in software.
Unsigned or Signed: Two’s-complement
Format
Unsigned integer numbers are positive, and no sign information is con-
tained in the bits. Therefore, the value of an unsigned integer is
interpreted in the usual binary sense. The least significant words of multi-
ple-precision numbers are treated as unsigned numbers.
Signed numbers supported by the ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin family
are in two’s-complement format. Signed-magnitude, one’s-complement,
binary-coded decimal (BCD) or excess-n formats are not supported.
Integer or Fractional Data Formats
The ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin family supports both fractional and
integer data formats. In an integer, the radix point is assumed to lie to the
right of the least significant bit (LSB), so that all magnitude bits have a
weight of 1 or greater. This format is shown in
Figure D-1
. Note in
two’s-complement format, the sign bit has a negative weight.
